Major process hurdle overcome at the El Boleo project, Mexico
Monday October 25, 6:30 pm ET


TSX Venture Exchange: BAJ
VANCOUVER, Oct. 18 /CNW/ - The El Boleo project, located at Santa Rosalia, Baja California Sur, Mexico, is a sediment hosted deposit of copper-cobalt-zinc, with possible indium, gallium and germanium credits, in a clayey mineral matrix. The copper-cobalt and zinc values in the ore can be leached using sulphuric acid solutions in a slurry leach process. While the dissolution of the valuable metals into the leach solution is relatively straightforward, the subsequent separation of metal containing solution from leached solids has historically been challenging. In order to meet this challenge, Baja commissioned a program of work at SGS Lakefield Research (Lakefield, Canada) to test the ability to successfully carry out solid-liquid separation and washing of the barren solids. This work was overseen by Bateman Engineering and involved Pocock Industrial (Salt Lake City) and Outokumpu (Toronto) in the testing. Pocock and Outokumpu are specialists in solid-liquid separation technology.
Baja is pleased to advise that the solid-liquid separation tests conducted at SGS Lakefield Research have demonstrated that Boleo ores can be settled and washed in a conventional CCD circuit utilizing high rate thickeners.

Mike Holmes, Bateman Study Manager for the Boleo Definitive Feasibility Study, stated "The recent successful test work on settling of diluted and flocculated Boleo leach slurries resulted in acceptable high-rate thickener area predictions for the CCD circuit at the proposed daily plant feed rate of 7500 tonnes solid per day. Underflow densities of 25% solids w/w were achieved which are typical for clays of this nature. Results were consistent across a range of six composite samples tested. The success of the solid-liquid separation test work has removed a significant amount of the technical risk from the flow sheet."

With the success of the solid-liquid separation test work, Baja is now moving quickly to a first stage integrated pilot plant at SGS Lakefield in November 2004. This pilot plant will test each of the unit operations in the Boleo flowsheet in a continuous, integrated system (essentially a miniature version of the full scale plant system).

The simplified Boleo flow sheet now consists of the following steps: conventional crushing, scrubbing and grinding of run-of-mine ore, a two stage atmospheric leach, partial neutralisation, solid-liquid separation utilizing high rate thickeners, copper solvent extraction and electrowinning. After iron precipitation, the copper raffinate is then stripped of the contained cobalt, zinc and residual copper utilizing a proprietary extraction system developed by Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Minerals Division (CSIRO). Zinc is stripped from the CSIRO extractant and is then precipitated as a saleable zinc sulphate. Cobalt is stripped into a highly purified solution and is then electrowon to produce cathode cobalt.

In summary, Baja has made significant technical progress in validating the Bateman process approach to treatment of Boleo copper-cobalt-zinc ores. Further pilot plant test work will continue to build confidence in the process flowsheet selected.

aus dem GOLD NEWSLETTER ALERT #248 NOVEMBER 2, 2004

[...]The project has a large global
resource of 464 million tonnes grading
0.7% copper, 0.058% cobalt and
0.71% zinc. The economics and
development plans for the project are
far too complicated to go through in
this venue.


Suffice to say that three facts
outline Baja’s remarkable potential
with Boleo:
1) When International Curator
owned the project during a hot
copper market, the company
sported a C$600 million market
cap on the basis of it alone.
That’s over 13 times the current
value of Baja.
2) Baja’s current development plan
for Boleo calls for using modern
hydrometallurgical recovery
technology that is now in routine
operation around the world.
This, along with the application
of continuous-mining technology
like that used in coal deposits,
will dramatically improve the
economics of the project.
3) To dramatically increase its
value, Baja needs to prove to the
market that its new approach
will work at Boleo. The company
plans to do precisely that
through a pilot plant and test
mining scheduled over the next
few months.
After reviewing this project in
some depth, I think Baja has an
extremely good chance of coming up
with the goods. Everything it wants
to do has already been proven in
other, similar projects, and the company
recently passed an important,
independently conducted solid-liquid
separation test on the Boleo ore.
In short, as it proceeds along the
final steps toward a final feasibility
study over the next few months...and
as the copper price continues to soar
ahead...Baja stands to make up considerable
ground toward the market
value that this project once boasted.

Hallo sowhat, kannst Du bitte mal Deine Quelln mit reinstellen? klingt ja interessant

[SoWhat]

Nein, es gibt einen Thread wo reichlich gegoogelt wird. wird. Du postetst da auch. Es ist ein bekanntes öffentliches Board. Vielleicht fragts Du dazu bei anderen per BM nach. Ist genauso geheim, wie manches andere was woanders gepostet wird

Möchte nicht gegen die Boardregeln verstossen, von wegen Werbung

Good luck
